University of Texas system students sue, say new law could ban prayers, reporting, music on campus
SUMMARY: Student groups from UT Austin and UT Dallas, supported by FIRE, sued university leaders over Texas Senate Bill 2972, which bans First Amendment-protected speech on public university campuses between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., and restricts amplified sound, percussion, and invited speakers during finals. The law, linked to recent campus protests, is criticized for infringing constitutional rights and potentially punishing activities like prayer, journalism, music, and political expression. Plaintiffs include Christian, journalistic, musical, and conservative groups, who argue the law threatens free speech and campus support systems. The UT System has yet to respond to the lawsuit.

Google says Gmail security warning is ‘false,’ but here’s how you can increase protection
SUMMARY: Recent reports claiming Google warned 2.5 billion Gmail users to change passwords due to a data breach are false. Google clarified there was no major security warning and emphasized its strong protections, blocking over 99.9% of phishing and malware attempts. A limited security incident affected a small number of corporate users earlier this summer, with those impacted already notified. Despite no widespread alert, Google noted increased phishing and credential theft attempts. To enhance security, users are encouraged to use Passkeys, 2-Step Verification, and remain vigilant against phishing emails. Suspicious messages can be reported directly to Google for investigation.

Concern for Dallas PD response time to hit-and-run
SUMMARY: Family members express frustration over Dallas Police Department’s delayed response to a hit-and-run crash on August 23, where a motorcyclist, Karen Williams, suffered serious injuries. The crash occurred around 12:10 p.m., but police did not respond to the hospital until 1:17 p.m., and arrived at the scene after 2 p.m. Witnesses described the reckless driver fleeing and criticized the police’s lack of urgency. Staffing issues were suggested as a cause of delay. DPD labeled the hit-and-run a priority but provided limited explanations, stating the goal response time is 12 minutes, and deferring staffing details to an open records request.
Family members are seeking answers about why it took Dallas police more than an hour to respond to a recent hit-and-run crash that left the victim with a spinal cord injury.
